Chapter 7. Filesystem Errors and Recovery

In Chapter 5, Network Troubleshooting, and Chapter 6, Diagnosing and Correcting Firewall Issues, we used quite a few tools to troubleshoot network connectivity issues due to misconfigured routes and firewalls. Network related issues are very common and the two example issues are also frequent scenarios. In this chapter, we will be focusing on hardware-related issues and start that with troubleshooting filesystem errors.

Much like the other chapters, we will start with a discovered error and troubleshoot the issue until we find the cause and solution. Along the way, we will discover many of the different commands and logs necessary for troubleshooting filesystem issues.
